FAA made an app for drone pilots

https://www.faa.gov/uas/where_to_fly/b4ufly/

B4UFLY is available for free download in the App Store for iOS and Google Play store for Android.
B4UFLY is an easy-to-use smartphone app that helps unmanned aircraft
operators determine whether there are any restrictions or requirements
in effect at the location where they want to fly.
Key features of the B4UFLY app include:

A clear "status" indicator that immediately informs the operator
about the current or planned location. For example, it shows flying in
the Special Flight Rules Area around Washington, D.C. is prohibited.
